Agree. Thats one reason I'm restoring the 79 with a 6.2 Detroit.

Arc Flash! Public Service Announcement
Don’t do stupid **** like I did last evening. I had a temp breaker feeding a temp outlet in my panel that I was done with. So I disconnected the neutral and ground from the neutral bus, unsnapped the breaker and pulled the conductors out of the box. . . with the main energized. The cell phone rang and I reached for it. Well, the bare ground wiggled around and hit the hot bus. And what a flash that was!

Isn't it funny how none of these companies, especially the auto insurance industry, don't seem to have a care in the world about the distractions caused by the touch screens.

Yeah and it's totally fine having huge led billboards on every other block that are so bright they can be seen from outer space 🙄

What a coincidence... US Ford trucks are very rare in Germany. US Ford trucks with a camper cab are even rarer.
I checked into a campground yesterday, and by pure chance, there was a '93 7.3 with a Bigfoot cab parked right next to me... both of us, hundreds of miles away from home, meeting up somewhere at the same time in the same place...
Life is full of surprises.
Check out the wooden shoes in the last picture!

Bigfoot 2500 10.6 - it was a great camper for us! unfortunately we needed to downsize to what our F350 SRW could handle (with a loaded horse trailer) - so got a 1500 series 9.5. Bigfoots are nice - I like the pre bankruptcy units best (as your camping neighbor has)...
